Men Without Souls (1940)
John Litel: Reverend Thomas Storm
Quotes
-
Reverend Thomas Storm : Governor, I believe all convicts were decent citizens at the start. A lot of them could be again if we give them the chance. I can't feel that a single man up there was born bad. Something happened, something went wrong, something cracked and the first mistake was made. And now, instead of being given a new start, these men are punished, beaten for days. Yes, for months and years. They never see a kind face or hear a friendly word. They come out of prison hopeless, filled with hatred, wanting revenge on society. So you see, Governor, it's our own fault; we have made them men without souls.
